Thread: having trouble getting good carbs? i have the solution!

It is enriched with 13 essential vit and min, mostly all are 100% of rdv. I have a question tho.

Is it ok to just use these bran flakes for all my carb intake?

I certainly wouldn't recommend it. Bran flakes are still usually highly refined and not as good as the commercials say it is. Do you not like rice?

rice isn't a good carb, unless its brown and brown rice is nasty

Brown Basmati rice is very good, you should try it.

What do you mean "good carbs?"

Depending on your objective, captain crunch can be just as good as a sweet potato.
